Could anyone give me any idea roughly how much it would cost to have a merlin re-decked and who could do it ?

Any of the leading builders or repairers should be capapble.

Depending on location:

Laurie Smart (South)

Kevin Driver (South West)

Phil Scott (Midlands)

Won't be cheap though!

Roger Gates of Datchet nr. Windsor call him on 01753 544906, he would be able to give you an estimate.

That was half an answer.....

Top quality timber come on how many pounds?

Aceeptable timber come on how many pounds?

It's a "ball park figure " so + / - 15 % how many pounds?

Go on be brave whats the cost?

Well the plywood will be £180 + delivery. (2 sheets)

You'll be looking at least £800 for the woodwork plus a couple of hundred to varnish. Quality of the timber will not make a significant differance, it's the labour time that makes it expensive as this is not a quick and easy job!
